Tips for Healthy Traveling

I’m on the road this week, heading to beautiful San Diego for business meetings and to, in all likelihood, get thrown off a really beautiful golf course.

You see, I’m sort of like Tiger Woods. Well, not in the strict golfing sense; more in the self-destruction sense. Often my divot travels farther than the golf ball I’ve just hit. I’ve been told that my swing is a sight to behold... and not in a good way.

Losing this weight has affected what little golf game I had. In the past, I had this crazy slice where I started my drive started about 75 yards to the left and it curved back into the fairway (sometimes).

Now that my gut has gone bye-bye, my swing’s all over the place… and so is my golf ball. Thankfully, I don’t have much of a golf game to wreck. I’m absolutely the wrong person to ask for any golfing tips, but I have put together a list of helpful healthy traveling tips for your consideration…

Start any long travel day with a good, nourishing enema.

Forget the shuttle; walk from the airport to your hotel.

Keep a magic marker on you so that you can log all of your food on your arm.

If your hotel doesn’t have a fitness center, you can easily make one by getting a second room, buying a bunch of fitness equipment and stowing it all in there.

If you're going to be consuming any alcohol during your travels, remember the old health adage “candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.” I'm not exactly sure why you should remember that, but it's vitally important that you do.

Ask the hotel concierge to arm wrestle.

The mini-bar is dangerous territory for dieters. Immediately pour all liquids down the drain and flush all chips, cookies and large-sized candy bars. The peace of mind you receive will more than make up for the $4,000 the hotel will charge your credit card.

usually you get better at physical activities with weight loss...hmmm, interesting my friend. Not trying to be mean here, but maybe golf was never really your game. But you know what? I bet you look damn good out there regardless of your skill level.

lol, bring string cheese and fruit..that's not going to happen..lol.No, it's not.I travel at the end of june...I am shooting for subways and coffee with splenda and diet cokes to get me through..that and a jillian micheals cd.Health nuts aren't we.

It's a good thing you're not a musician. I've heard [knew] someone who never got their HORRID teeth fixed because it might effect the tone of their flute. Can you imagine being forbidden to lose weight because of the effect on your swing? Hahahaha

Covert Bailey claims to have jump roped down the aisles on a Pacific Ocean flight to Asia. Psh.

Haha! I'm going to New Orleans in June, and I just might end up walking from the airport to our hotel. My husband hates to pay for cab fare!

On our honeymoon, I had to walk everywhere in Santorini, Malaga, Cadiz, Lisbon--even though I had been really sick and was not quite better!(should I have thrown him in the ocean?)--and when we went to Vancouver for my 30th birthday, I had to walk everywhere there, too!

About Me

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jack,
Who never quit eating ‘cept to stop and have a snack.
Then one day he was standing on his scale,
And he realized he’d really let his body go to hell.
(Obesity that is, back fat, Texas toast)
Well the first thing you know old Jack he made a vow,
He’d ratchet up the exercise and slow down on the chow.
He wanted to get his weight back to where it oughta be,
So he loaded up his stuff and he moved to Bloggery.
(Google Blogger that is, writing posts, makin’ jokes)
Well now it's time to say hello to Jack and all his sh*t
As he chronicles his adventures on his journey to get fit.
You're all invited back each day to this locality,
To have a heaping helping of health and hilarity.
(Jack Sh*t, Gettin’ Fit, that is.)
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
